My novel DAUGHTER MOON is #46th on GoodReads Best Social Science Fiction list. http://bit.ly/W17QFb You thought I only did #TwitterArt?

I don't understand GoodReads lists yet, much less GoodReads, or even the Internet. But this tweet has a bit of a history (in Internet years, would 6-days old put it in the Paleozoic Era or the Mesozoic Era?). Just a throw-away brag, this tweet was on the #TwitterArt TOP TWEET list after about 2 hours (I know that one: the Internet Pleistocene Epoch). At most, it had 1 RT & maybe 2-3 faves at that obsolete outdated time. I should mention that #140art and #TwitterArt tags are moderated: actual humans choose which tweets make the TOP cut, and which tweets get dumped from the tag altogether.

Circa 2/10/2013 5:42 AM this tweet is still on the #TwitterArt TOP list (the TOP list is the default, what searchers see if they search the tag, when they are then presented with other options for expanding or restricting their search). Now, at 7 RTs and 15 faves, there is some justification for the tweet being on that hashtag's TOP list. But it is sort of a self-fulfilling prophesy: Someone put it on the list, so it got the stats to stay there because of all the extra people who saw and read the tweet.

And now for my hashtag P.S.

Did you know that half the ads during the Super Bowl carried Twitter hashtags?

All those tags . . . the system obviously wasn't ready for it . . . This Explains The Super Bowl Power Failure! Hashtag Overload!
